Can Africa afford to lose this man? 
Who is he?What has he done?
Who is he?What has he done?
"GADDAFI"
It is no secret the West is terrified of Gaddafi. Considering his record of rebelling against imperialism and modern day colonialism, it is no surprise they are fearful if he stays in power and continues to have a very strong influence on Africa, their agendas in the oil-rich country and other rich-in-whatever African countries will be hampered.
Although Gadaffi may have left behind him a trail of unpredictable actions begging people to wonder about his sanity, it is only fair that we as Africans give the man credit and appreciate what he has done for the continent while scrutinizing the ‘concerns of the West.’
Gaddafi has been the only African voice that the West trembles to and burns midnight oil for while cracking heads about how to get rid of him. He is unlike the majority of African presidents that have chosen to be ‘yes sirs’, friends of the west, so they can be comfortable in their seats instead of defending and protecting their countries and resources. They have allowed themselves to be controlled and bullied by the West. South Africa’s very own and most celebrated African leader, Nelson Mandela, chose not to be bullied by America on his visit to Libya in 1997 when they expressed their reservations about his missions there. He stood on a podium in Tripoli and dismissed the western world that had criticized his visit to Libya: “Those who say I should not be here are without morals. I am not going to join them in their lack of morality. This man helped us at a time when we were all alone, when those who say we should not come here were helping the enemy, the South African white oppressive ‘apartheid’ government.” If Mandela could tell America to hold its horses and swallow sour grapes that Gaddafi played a very strong and positive role in South Africa’s history, what chances are there that this man was and is good to the ‘non-imperialistic’ well being of the continent?
He remains the pioneer ofand one of the biggest sponsors of NEPAD and the African Union (AU), organizations that stand for poverty alleviation, African unity, and all that is right for the economic success and global competitiveness of the continent.
He was involved in the liberation of Chad from the French oppression and colonization. He has through his personal and his government’s investments created jobs in Libya and the rest of Africa including South Africa. He has been the strongest link between Arabs and Africans in Africa. A relationship that has been guarded so intensely by the West
In a strategic bid to drive a point home and forcefully unseat Gadaffi so these interests may succeed, the UN Security Council has imposed travel bans and assets freeze on Gadaffi’s family and senior officials in his government which are according to the provisions of the UN charter, a contravention as the UN Security Council has no jurisdiction over the internal affairs of states.
What is happening in Libya today is not a new phenomenon. It has never been about the people, it’s about what is in that country that is of interest to the West, what is beneficial to them, and just like Iraq, Libya is an oil-rich country.
After two days, Western Media published that Gadaffi bombed his own people.However,this was falsified information and this was confirmed by the Russian intelligence who had been monitoring the Libyan air space and proved there were no bombings in Libya.
We as Africans, sit back and re-think the actions on/or within our continent as there is nobody in life who is 100% perfect.Gadaffi is one of the greatest leaders that Africa can count on.He fought for Africa in many ways and many circumstances and does not deserve the humiliation.In actual fact,Gadaffi is a hero for Africa and he deserves the utmost respect from us Africans.
If America and the west want to destroy Gadaffi’s Legacy that means there will never be an African Leader who can say no to America and ,the West will take everything from the continent without the consent of the Africans. And that means the American interest will grow larger on the continent and the Africans will be forgotten.
Africans, Libyans it is time to put your guns down for the respect of Libya and Africa at large because those who are dying or are likely to die are actually not Americans or Europeans but Africans because there is a big difference between a peaceful revolution and rebellion.The issues in Libya can easily be solved through dialogue by Africans other than involving people with hidden agendas.
In conlusion,Colonel Mummer Gadaffi and all other great leaders on the continent that liberated us from colonialism deserve respect other than Western world engineered humiliation .Those who do not know, should better get facts clear instead of basing on media misinformation and propaganda to discredit Africa statesmen. More importantly acquaint themselves with the history of the continent and leadership struggles for this great continent.
